Split SC from GA Completely

[[violet]]

Now implemented. I think I got everything; let me know if anything's missing!

Would it be malicious to suggest the SC bring a proposal to vote just to test this new animal?

(Also, what happened to the sidebar links for both Councils? It looks good now, I was just wondering.)

EDIT: Thanks also for all your hard work on this!

[[violet]]

The SC will promote a proposal at the next daily update. I just missed this one.

Oh yes, sidebar link: I wasn't happy with how it looked. It added quite a bit of clutter and pushed "Latest Threads" completely offscreen on low-but-common resolutions. I thought about having those links appear only when you were within the WA, when they'd be most relevant, but then the GA & SC are only a click away anyway. So I'm not sure it's a usability improvement.

Edit: Actually, I notice there's nothing in the SC proposal queue with quorum. When there is, it'll hit the SC voting floor.

I do see one potential problem: there's no grace period between the adoption of a resolution and the tabling of the next. As an example, if the current proposal gains resolution status, the next up for vote would be "A Promotion of Basic Education", which would be illegal, as it had suddenly become duplication. I'd recommend making having a one-update delay between proposals so that anything made illegal can be withdrawn.

That's not something I've just introduced; it's always been like that. Perhaps make a new thread for discussion.

The layout looks just like along the lines of what I suggested. Thanks!

Maybe subsections in the navigation bar may help.

Wow, that looks really nice.

I will rejoin the WA now! Thanks to Violet.

All the proposals currently say "RESOLUTION AT VOTE."

Also the proposal submission form should only be visible/accessible to members with two endorsements.

Fixed, thanks!

It's visible to all WA members, which is the same it's always been... I think it would be potentially confusing if the link appeared and disappeared as you dipped above or below the threshold. The form itself is pretty clear that you need 2 endorsements to continue.

I think it would be nice if there was a link to the proposal page on the generic World Assembly page, and that link just went to the undivided queue. It would save time trying to click links when one wants to go to the queue.

By the way, the architecture of the divide is just stunning, I love it!

I can haz a "Preview Resolution" button?

I don't exactly remember it that way; at any rate I am not even a WA member yet I can still access the form.

[[violet]]

Oh I see, you're looking on the proposal page. I'll make that link appear for WA members only, so it's consistent (right now it appears for all logged-in nations).

But that's also not anything I changed; it was like that before.

New threads for suggestions not concerning this specific change please!

[Dyr Nasad]

Thank you very much, [violet]!

[Krioval]

Thank you for the excellent work.

[Ardchoille]

I especially like the logos. The way the GA one's scales are balanced, the whole thing looks to the shortsighted (ie, me) like the deeply threatening face of some insanely powerful Megatron clone. Perfect! World Government, here we come!

And I am suitably impressed by the unbloodied sword on the SC's. Subtle -- leaves no evidence.

Its unbloodied because the rules say we can't start a WA army. Nevertheless, I always thought my talents were more suited for administrative purposes, as opposed to the field, anyway...

True... but I kinda think that the SC was some kind of army on paper at least.

Wha...? There should be blood all over that thing...

Well, not on paper...

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I'm sorry it took me a while to get back to this - had things on my mind.

Is it possible on the "WA" page to add that one part that says something about the "Organization-that-cannot-be-named"?

and is it possible to add a short BIo about each chamber? (Besides "one resolution" and "via, force if necessary")

[Omigodtheykilledkenny]

Is it possible on the "WA" page to add that one part that says something about the "Organization-that-cannot-be-named"?

What about it? It used to be called the UN, but the real UN complained and now it's the WA. That's pretty much it. If you want more info, try the wiki page.

and is it possible to add a short BIo about each chamber? (Besides "one resolution" and "via, force if necessary")

This sounds more like something to be added to the FAQ, which still hasn't been updated to reflect the changes to the WA.
